FIRST LAW SCHOOL MEDAL TO GO TO ALI PRESIDENT

Norris Darrell, senior partner in the New York firm of Sullivan and Cromwell and president of the American Law Institute since 1961, was selected by the Law School faculty as the recipient of the first Marshall-Wythe School of Law Medal. It is planned to make the formal presentation of the medal to Darrell at the June commencement cere­monies.

A faculty committee consisting of Professors James P. Whyte, chairman, and E. Blythe Stason, Jr. and William F. Swindler, recommended the ALI head to the full faculty with the observation that Darrell perfectly embodied, in his professional ca­reer, the type of service to the law which the medal is intended to recognize. By unanimous approval the Law School faculty then forwarded the nomina­tion to President Davis Y. Paschall, who extended the invitation to accept the award.

A second presentation of the new medal will be made to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, for display in the John Mar­shall House in Richmond, on May 14. In approving t wo awards the first year, the law faculty noted t hat the special significance which the Marshall House hold for Marshall's old Law School seemed to justify the course of action. It is contemplated that hereafter there will be no more than one such award annually, and the occasion for the presenta­t ion will vary with the special events of the Col­lege year.

Darrell received his LL. B. degree from the University of Minnesota in 1923. For two years fol­lowing, he was law clerk to then Supreme Court Justice Pierce Butler, and then joined the New York firm with which he has been identified ever since. S ince 1934 he has been technical adviser to the Com­mittee on Economic Development, and has served as adviser to many state and national tax programs. He is a trustee of the Practicing Law Institute and a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, and in­ternationally recognized as a leader in movements fo r the professional improvement of the law.

Donaldson Joins In Tax

Research Project In Fall

3

A joint research project between Assistant Professor John E. Donaldson of the Law School and Arthur B. White, who will be on leave to teach at the Southern Methodist University law school from the Internal Revenue Service, will be launched next fall. The project concerns the adequacy from an ad­ministrative viewpoint of the present tax exempt status of non-profit organizations. It looks to a series of proposals for improving the administrative ma­chinery regarding these groups.

White is special assistant to the chief counsel, IRS. Both men will go onto reduced teaching sched­ules during the project, which is expected to occupy most of the first semester of the 1967-68 academic year.

Donaldson served as IRS tax counsel last year while completing work on his LL.M. degree at Georgetown University. He previously received an A. B. degree from the University of Richmond and his B. C. L. from William and Mary. He returned to the Law School as assistant professor last Sep­tember.

LAW REVIEW ARTICLES ATTRACT ATTENTION

The Winter issue of the William and Mary Law Review, recently published, and the Spring issue now at the printers have both featured articles and notes which haye attracted wide comment through­out the professIOn. In the case of the issue not yet published, the article awaited with considerable expectancy is the Gault Memorial Lecture given last fall at Eastern State Hospital. Its subject was "Al­coholism and the Law," and it was delivered by Peter Barton Hutt of the Washington law firm of C?vington. and Burli.n~. The Law Review arranged wIth hospItal authorIties to publish the lecture since it was on a subject of mutual interest to law and psychiatry.

A brief but eloquent argument on "The Selec­tion of Federal Judges: The Independent Commis­sion Approach," was the lead article in the Winter issu~, written by Senator Hugh Scott of Pennsyl­vama. Courts Oulahan of the Washington law firm of Rhyne and Rhyne was the author of a second article, "Some Practical Problems of Proxy Solici­tation and Counting Under Virginia Law." A third article, essentially a study in legal and political his­tory, was contributed by Professor Peter G. Fish of Princeton University under the title, "Secrecy and the Supreme Court: Judicial Indiscretion and Re­construction Politics."

A major research note by David K. Sutelan a nd Wayne R. Spencer of the editorial staff studies the little-known Virginia Special Court of Appeals and suggested that it offered a constitutional medium of relief fo! .the Supreme Court of Appeals.

In addItion to the Gault Memorial Lecture the Spring issue of the Law Review will contai~ ar­ticles by Howard N. Morse, consluting attorney to th~ A.merican ~e~iical Association, on "Legal Im­plIcations of ClImcal Investigation;" by Robert J. Steamer, chairman of the department of government of Lake Forest (III.) College, on "The Court and t he Criminal;" and a summary of 1966 tax legisla­t ion by Assistant Professor John E. Donaldson.

The 25-year summary of state constitutional development by Dr. W. Brooke Graves in the Fall 1966 issue of the Law Review has been distributed to fifty specialists by the National Municipal League. !.he article by ~rthur B. (Tim) Hanson, BCL '40,

Developments I~ the Law of Libel: The Impact of the New York TImes Rule," published in the Spring 1966 issue, has been widely reprinted and this month was included in the working materials of the Prac­t icing Law Institute seminar on libel.

New Law School Directory Printed And Mailed

7

A handsome new edition of the Directory of Alumni, Former Students and Members of the Law School Association which went to press late last fall has been received from the printer and copies mailed to all who paid in advance for them. Professor Emeric Fischer of the Law School advises that ad­ditional copies are available for anyone wishing to send $3 to the WiIliam and Mary Law School Asso­ciation to his attention.

Similar in format to the first printed directory published in 1959-60, the directory will also serve as a handbook for the members of the Law School Association, since it includes the Constitution and By-Laws of the Association as of the fall of 1966.

An interesting complementary list contains the names of members of the bar known to have received honorary degrees from William and Mary, from Thomas Jefferson in 1782 to Lewis F. Powell, Jr. as president of the American Bar Association in 1965. This)ist is in term complemented by the names of the two recipients of the honorary degree of Law and Taxation-J. D. Carneal, Jr. in 1963 and Otto Lowe, Sr. in 1964.

College records are incomplete as to the stu­dents who studied law in the first period of the College law program, 1779-1861, although they are known to have totalled between one and two thou­sand. The list of teachers, however, is complete from George Wythe, 1779-90 to Visiting Professor Domi­nik Lasok, 1966-67.

The Secretary of the Law School Association regrets the inadvertent omission of the following alumni from the new Directory. Please insert in the alphabetical and geographical listings in your copy:
